Title: Apparatus for transporting plate-shaped workpieces
IPC: B65G47/244
Filed: 1967-12-11
Abstract: 1,205,654. Conveyers; feeding and delivering sheets. HORNBERGER MASCHINENBAUGESELLSCHAFT O.H.G. 11 Dec., 1967 [10 Dec., 1966], No. 56282/67. Headings B8A and B8R. Apparatus disposed between adjacent ends of two conveyers turns sheet material conveyed thereby through 90 degrees. The first conveyer comprises two pairs of opposed conveyer belts 12a, 12b engaging the edges of the sheet 10. The spacing of the belts of each pair and of the pairs is variable to accommodate different thicknesses and widths of the sheets. On delivery to the turning apparatus the sheet engages a switch 42 suspended from the pistonrod of a two-way ram 45 to actuate said ram to move in a direction opposite to the conveying direction. When the switch reaches the trailing edge of the sheet 10d it drops down and engages the same as a pawl and at the same time reverse the two-way ram to draw the sheet into abutment with two further switches 33. The switches 33 actuate a ram 31 to raise a relatively driven disc 26 into contact with the underside of the sheet and grip the same with a freely rotatable disc 25 mounted above the sheet. After a short delay the switches 33 are raised from the path of the sheet and a series of rollers 51 are raised above the level of a roller conveyer 13. The sheet is supported during the turning by guide rails or rollers 20, 54 and 51. On completion of the desired turning angle the sheet abuts a switch 50 which effects the lowering of the disc 26 and the rollers 51 to feed the sheet on to the roller conveyer 13. During the lowering operation the sheet abuts a farther switch 53 to effect the lowering of the switches 33. The apparatus may be disposed between two finishing machines (not shown) the first of which machines the edges 10a, 10b of the sheet and the second, after the turning of the sheet, machines the edges 10c, 10d. The conveyers 12, 13 may be disposed at an angle, other than 180 degrees, to each other and by suitable positioning of the switch 50 the angle of turning may be varied. The raising of the rollers 51 is performed by an inflatable member 52a disposed below the framework of the rollers.

[Also in Divisions B2 and D1] A rubber or rubber-like article containing a textile reinforcing member comprising a plurality of continuous filamentary elements in the form of cords, e.g. of glass, nylon or polyester material, or of fabric formed of such cords arranged in parallel longitudinal relation and held together by spaced lateral warp threads, is produced by a process in which prior to incorporating the member into the article it is progressively flexed along its length under tension so that the flexibility of the member is greater after flexing then before flexing. Prior to flexing the member may have been dipped in an adhesive which bonds it to rubber, dried and hot stretched. After flexing the member may be embedded in uncured rubber applied by calendering, formed into a laminated article, e.g. a tire, and vulcanized. The flexing apparatus shown in Fig. 2 comprises two parallel frame members 10 that support idler rolls 11 and 12 mounted in bearings 14 secured to the bottom of frame members 10 and adapted to guide web 13. Extending between frame members 10 parallel to one another and perpendicular to the path of travel of the web are three stationary tubular supports 15 and two adjustable tubular supports 16 having secured thereto flexing bars 17 "L"-shaped in cross-section, which extend longitudinally along each support 15 and 16 from end to end and over which the web is flexed in passing. Supports 16 are mounted for rotary movement relative to slide blocks 20 and are biased to the desired position by means of coil tension springs. The desired angle of flexure of the web as it passes through the apparatus is adjusted by vertical adjustment of the tubular supports 16 carried at each end by slide blocks 20 received in vertical guides 21, by means of screw jacks 32 each comprising a threaded plunger 33, top plate 34 which engages slide block 20 and helical gear 35 threaded on plunger 33 and mounted for rotary movement, the teeth of the helical gear 35 engaging worm 36 mounted at the end of a motor-driven driveshaft.

Title: A data transmission system
Inventor: KLOSE ULRICH
IPC: H04L12/423
Filed: 1969-12-04
Abstract: 1,272,978. Data transmission systems. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP. 4 Dec., 1969 [20 Dec., 1968], No. 59161/69. Heading H4P. [Also in Division G4] A data transmission system comprises a central station 1 and a plurality of area stations 2- 17 arranged in a closed loop around which signals are transmitted; each station 2-17 includes a by-pass (not shown in Fig. 1) that can be broken when the corresponding area station 2-17 receives or transmits signals; when a number of area stations simultaneously request communication with the central station 1, then these are interrogated sequentially around the loop. As described in relation to airline seat reservation, the stations 1-17 are interconnected through modulators 18, 20, 22, 24 and demodulators 19, 19, 21, 23, 25. All signals are transmitted counterclockwise around the loop in serial form, but are connected to parallel mode in each area station 2-17. When the central station 1 wishes to receive data, it sends a POLL signal around the loop, whereon those area stations desiring communication break their by-pass. Each sends a RESET signal, so reconnecting the by-pass of every calling area station except that nearest to the output of the central station 1, for example, area station 4. Data communication then occurs between area station 4 and central station 1. Communication then proceeds sequentially with the remaining calling area stations counterclockwise around the loop, by successive transmission of POLL and of RESET signals. In an alternative embodiment, communication proceeds sequentially with calling area stations, clockwise around the loop. The central station 1 may alternatively exchange data with any selected area station 2-17 by alerting all area stations 2-17 with a CALL signal, followed by an address signal for the selected area station, that will break the corresponding by-pass. Figs. 2 and 3 (not reproduced) illustrate area stations that are suitable for sequential communication between area stations and the central station, respectively counterclockwise and clockwise around the loop.

Abstract: 1456378 Setting out work POST OFFICE 7 Feb 1975 [21 Dec 1973] 59321/73 Heading B4X [Also in Division G2] Solder-denoting pads 24 are manually located on a printed circuit board artwork sheet 12 by means of a stylus 32 see also Fig. 2 (not shown), which is used to engage the pads by means of a time 34 extending from a spring-loaded stem (42) of the stylus, the stem being thereafter inserted selectively in apertures 22 in a template 20, see also Fig. 4 (not shown), which is accurately located above the sheet 12 by spigot 16 on a frame 14 secured to a light box 10, the spigots engaging location sockets 18 in the template and the stylus being pressed against the sheet 12 to deposit the pads at their selected locations. The pads have adhesive undersurfaces engaging the sheet. The sockets 18 are so spaced that by selective engagement of the spigots 16 in pairs of the sockets 18 the template can be selectively positioned relative to the sheet 12 in positions which are spaced from each other by distances which are fractions of the distance between the apertures 22. Thus if the movement of the template 20 is to be in N equal incremental parts of the pitch P of the apertures 22 then N<SP>2</SP> sockets 18 must be provided in an array with complementary mutual spacings which are N-aliquant multiples of P/N, viz. multiples of P/N which cannot be divided by N without a remainder. For example, if N equals 2 then 4 sockets 18 are required to permit stepwise movement of the template by a distance equal to ¢ P in either or both longitudinal and lateral directions of the template. This permits a template 20 having apertures 22 at a minimum acceptable pitch to be used to locate the pads 24 at points on a grid having a pitch which is a fraction of the pitch of the apertures 22. The spigots 16 are preferably spaced by an N-aliquant multiple of P/N and sockets 18 are preferably provided at both lateral areas of the template so that by inverting the template further closer spacings of the location points of the pads are provided. Below the sheet 12 is an undersheet having thereon a representation of the required printed circuit, a grid of appropriate pitch and different coloured marks to indicate approximate required positions of the pads 24, and the template 20 is located relative to the sheet 12 by a sighting device 48, see also Fig. 3 (not shown), having a sighting bead (54) at the end of a plug (50) which is inserted in any aperture 22 to align the bead with the selected colour and location indicia on the undersheet.
